Fool's Paradise

Enter the weird and wonderful world of TV’s most lovable idiot…

- Hannah Davies, Richard McClure

If you like your TV comedy to be surreal, silly and short, don’t miss BBC2’s The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk, which returns this week for a series of four quirky new episodes – all just 10 minutes long.

Last year’s BAFTA-nominated pilot introduced us to childlike aspiring actor Herbert and his weird and wonderful imagination, which includes talking household objects and bizarre musical interludes.

‘Herbert is a lovable idiot,’ says comic Spencer Jones, who plays him. ‘The comedy is silly – it’s all about going back to being like a kid. Hopefully it will take people away from all the serious things in life.’

Jones developed the character during his stand-up routines.
